Mesothelioma:
What is Heart Cancer?
Each year about 400,000 Americans undergo balloon angioplasty to clear blocked
arteries. In many cases, the arteries become blocked again. Now, a cancer drug
may change the outcome of the procedure. In nearly
20 percent of people who get an ordinary stent, scarring causes re-blockage, or
restenosis. That happens twice as often with angioplasty alone. But the
drug-coated stent showed better results.
